Abstract
Hydrogels are soft and smart materials with great similarity to biological systems. In the past decade, a significant progresshas been achieved to produce mechanically strong and tough hydrogels. Another major challenge in gel science is togenerate self-healing and shape-memory functions in hydrogels to extend their application areas. Several strategies havebeen developed to create self-healing ability in hydrogels by replacing the chemically cross-linked polymer network with areversible one. Moreover, a combination of strong and weak physical cross-links was used to produce hydrogels with bothself-healing and shape-memory behavior. In this review, I present recent developments in the field of self-healing and shapememory hydrogels by mainly focusing our achievements.
Özet
Biyolojik sistemlere büyük bir benzerlik gösteren hidrojeller yumuşak ve akıllı malzemelerdir. Mekanik olarak dayanıklı ve tok hidrojellerin üretimi konusunda geçen on yılda önemli ilerlemeler sağlanmıştır. Jel biliminde mevcut diğer büyük zorluk ise hidrojellerin kullanım ömürlerinin uzatılması için onlara kendini onarım ve şekil-hafıza fonksiyonlarının kazandırılmasıdır. Bu derlemede, kendini onarabilen ve şekil-hafızalı hidrojeller alanında son gelişmeleri sunuyorum.
